What do you use to target feed corals?

[RL321]

I need some ideas that dont waste so much food and I dont have to go for a swim to target feed. Thanks

I just use a turkey baster.

I use a 12cc Syringe most of the time, or a Turkey Baster.Depends in what I am target feeding, and what is being fed.For photoPlankton or RotiFeast, I use the syringe, for Mysis or brine shrimp, I use the Turkey Baster

Turn of pumps first will help, cut the top off of a 2-3 liter soda bottle and place it over the colony like a little greenhouse then use a turkey baster to shoot some food in the top. This will keep crabs, snails and fish from getting the food before the coral can.

one of thos plastic syringes we get with test kits and a hard line tube. seems to do a great job.

The turkey baster is a good idea, but it requires me to put my arms in the tank more often than I care to. Here's a picture of the business end of my feeder:

The syringe is the kind you use to feed liquid medicine to babies. It's attached to a length of rigid airline tubing with a piece of flexible tubing. On the other end I attach another short length of flexible tubing because it's softer and less likely to irritate a coral.
I thaw frozen food in a little plastic cup and draw it into the syringe. This also allows me to direct food to fish that are timid eaters.

Sea Squirt , extends up to 32 inches or so (dry arms ). will handle liquids and up to brine shrimp, mysis and larger need a hole enlargement. Available at most friendly on line fish
stores for about $18 or $20. I love mine.

turkey baster and thong for mysis.

 

[DrSalty]

I use a turkey baster for feeding mysis and a feeding prong to get heavier things (krill, silversides) down deeper in the tank.

I hope you mean tongs instead. :wave: J/K

I have some picturess of my grandkids that when I took them right before I snap the picture, I say, "Okay, everyone say Papa wears a thong". You should see the looks on their faces. :crazy1:

I tried Julian's thing, works great but order extra tips they have very small holes. I snipped the tip so I could feed brine and Misys shrimp.

 

[Usul0]

60cc syringe with about 3 inches of air tubing.

Well I use two little fishes the thing!!!!!!!!! It works great just google the thing made by two little fishes co. Works way better than my turkey blaster. You can get to any coral anywhere in the tank.
